From STAR TREK to STAR WARS, from DUNE to FOUNDATION, science fiction has a rich history of exploring the idea of vast intergalactic societies, and the challenges facing those living in or trying to manage such societies. 
The stories in FEDERATIONS will continue that tradition, and herein you will find a mix of all-new, original fiction, alongside selected reprints from authors whose work exemplifies what interstellar SF is capable of, including Lois McMaster Bujold, Anne McCaffrey, George R.R. Martin, Catherynne M. Valente, L.E. Modesitt, Jr., Alastair Reynolds, Robert J. Sawyer, Robert Silverberg, Harry Turtledove, and many more.

      Starred review from May 18, 2009
      Accomplished editor Adams (The Living Dead
      ) explores a host of galaxy-spanning empires in this breathtakingly rich anthology. Lois McMaster Bujold’s elegant, elegiacal masterpiece “Aftermaths” brings grace and sorrow into the silence between stars. Clever and subtle, Alan Dean Foster’s “Pardon Our Conquest” examines how diplomacy is perceived by the losing side. Even Harry Turtledove’s “Someone Is Stealing the Great Throne Rooms of the Galaxy” far surpasses what one might expect from the pun-filled adventures of a space hamster named Rufus Q. Shupilluliumash. Newer writers also contribute standouts: Trent Hergenrader’s “Eskhara” is poignant, masterful and terrifyingly relevant to modern life, Georgina Li’s “Like They Always Been Free” is a harsh, bright vision of futuristic love and Catherynne M. Valente’s “Golubush, or Wine-Blood-War-Elegy” smoothly transforms mundane copywriting into a linked series of flash fictions. Superior writing, fantastic storytelling and creative adherence to the theme will keep readers enthralled.
